Seems his body went thru too much. Also is bad timing his assistant left for a few errands and he died while she was gone. Who knows if she was there maybe he could of been saved. So sad
How incredibly difficult this must be for him to come forward so publicly with all his struggles. He clearly understands how it can help others and we are all very glad he is still with us. He was one of the best characters on Friends. Despite his battles, he did amazing work under difficult circumstances.
There are few people who passed that have touched as many lives as he did. He's a legend now. A beautiful, wonderful human being of a legend. RIP Matthew. You are a huge part of human history.
@@alfa-psi No one is hiding. It means the literal same thing. If you're offended over something like that maybe you need to work on a few things. Very silly dude.
Matthew Perry should be remembered as one of the wittiest, most funny and natural comedic actors of his time. Damn, I'm shaken to the very core. Did not expect this news.
@AL1247 ikr?? matthew literally talked about how he was unwell at the friends reunion and just went and did his best and stephen's response was about trudeau ... made no sense at all
@@Playsch00l That's probably due to editing. Which is not Colbert's fault. Also, in more general terms, the reason Colbert has to just move on to the next question just when things are getting interesting, is because late night talk shows in the US aren't as much actual talk shows as they are time slots for commercials with a little celebrity chatter in between. Imagine how interesting this interview would have been if it was given some actual time.
Chandler taught so many men how to be funny around women they liked. His cultural impact cannot be overstated. I'm glad he's better now. Love and Light!
what cultural impact? a r u on drugs? 'cultural impact' is Bowie or Madonna. ok, Boy George is a cultural impact too. but who the hell is Matthew Perry ?
Chandler is my favorite character on Friends, but I never truly realized how much I adore Matthew Perry as a person until now. What a wonderful interview.
Me too! I don't follow celebrities and although I knew he had addiction issues, I didn't know the extent of it or the background. Now I feel so guilty that I didn't know or didn't do anything about it. After listening to him in his audiobook, I can't get over how much he suffered. It's just not fair. He brought so much joy to millions (billions?) of people, but yet, he was suffering every day of his life. Makes me angry that his family, his friends, co-workers, etc didn't do more to help him. He gave so much of himself to them, but seems like he got only suffering in return. RIP Matty. You were handsome, funny, sensitive, caring and generous. You were one in a million. You'll go down as one of the best comedic geniuses ever.
My sister had the pleasure of spending time with him while they were filming in Montreal. It seems he was a very kind human being and very down to earth. That is one very sad news. RIP Mr. Perry and thank you for alll the laughters!
@Stephen Conley not trying to be a jerk at all, but he is talented, maybe not in the same way as others, but the amount of laughter he and his 5 cast mates brought to people around the world, is more than I could ever do. That is a talent. Maybe not one you care for and that’s ok. But he is talented and so brave to come on tv, years of the abuse showing so clearly but here he is sharing it all in the hopes to help others. He may not want to act anymore, he may be happy just helping people overcome addiction. Either way much respect to him.
Drugs really damage your heart over time. I hope when the story comes out, he was still sober. The best part of this wonderful man’s story was his valiant fight for sobriety. He never ever gave up. I think of my cousin who fought as hard. She joked that she’d been in rehabbed 50 times, just like Perry used to. Anyway, when my cousin had her heart attack at age 41, she just dropped dead. Just, boom. Over. No pain, just… she was gone. If he was in his hot tub, I hope he was relaxed, the stars were out, and it was quick. Please God, let that be it. He fought so hard. I just pray he was in a good place.
It doesn't help that he also took the vaccine which has proven to weaken the heart. He was also overweight and a smoker. He had no chance of living a "long" life.
Fly high 🕊 Matthew Langford Perry (August 19, 1969 - October 28, 2023). You brought millions of people such joy with your talent and saved millions more by sharing your story. Rest easy friend. 💔 You'll never be forgotten.
Oh wow is he reading it , so cool, I would love to hear it ❤ it’s heartbreaking what people go through. And no one knows what goes on in anyone’s life, no matter what it looks like or media shows it to be. And it doesn’t matter who you are and where you’re from. Bless him and great respect for him and others coming out with these stories and sharing with the world, it’s amazing ❤❤
This is such a gut punch, he was such a huge part of my youth, Friends brought me so much laughter and stress relief. He's my favourite Friend and even to this day, I still go back to re-watch the show and they way he played Chandler still makes me laugh the most. How I wish he could've had more years to celebrate his sobriety on earth...
He didn't mean it the way it came out when he mentioned Keanu Reeves. I sometimes accidentally say stuff phrased weird and it comes off wrong. It's an honest mistake.
I gasped when i heard the news. Most if us will be in denial for days to come. Condolences to his family and friends...he was loved by so many around the world 💕
I'm so sad. Crying my eyes out. I missed you. Thank you so much for your contribution. You made me laugh so much and eventhough you struggled you never shown us. RIP Matthew ❤
#MatthewPerry. Listening to the book now and it's so great and so real. Glad you're riding in the middle of the boat these days. We love you brother. 💚
@ coach, he didn't sound very nice and it was the most depressing book. Nothing inspirational or uplifting in it and I also know a lot of people in the program and have read the Big Book. Was going to get the book for my sister but changed my mind after hearing it on audio the last 2 days. People would think why bother even trying to get sober. He still sounded depressed and like he didn't get it.
I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and for some reason I checked my phone to see what time it was (I don't usually do that) and it was everywhere. This is one of those times where I am actually speechless. Like I couldn't even get a word or a sound out for a full 10 minutes because I was in such a shock (and still am). Now I've been crying nonstop for about 30 minutes. I haven't even gotten to check or read some of the posts from the cast or other celebrities. Iiterally bought his book a few weeks ago but haven't gotten around to read it. I genuinelly feel like a friend died and I am not ashamed to admit it. It's gonna be hard watching Friends now. But hopefully it can help too. Rest in Peace Matthew 💔 You were and are so loved ❤
I found out about Matthew's horrific death through a notification on my phone. I was so stunned, I couldn't even cry right away. I think it's kind of eerie that he died only 4 days before the 1 year anniversary of his book being published (that has since been found to be mostly lies according to "sources" who claimed to have known him personally). Regardless, I hope that Matty is resting eternally in sweet paradise with our Lord. We love you, Batman. 🥺🦇💔
@@LighthouseLover1989 I think those "sources" are lying. It's clear they weren't real friends when he was alive. I wouldn't expect them to be real friends in his death.
Thank you Matthew for helping others through your book. I’ve been sober 13 years and it’s an everyday battle still… I wish you could have stick around longer BUT it’s ok. We will see you again❤❤❤❤
I sincerely hope that after the aura around the book and the talk shows end that he's able to stay sober and not collapse again into addiction. I have often heard people who go through this high only to be left feeling unbelievably low when the spotlight ends.
@Stephen Conley *that you know of* He did plenty. Aside of movies, I have seen him in a play in London that he wrote and stared in called "End of longing". It may come as a surprise to you, but people don't think "I have to inform Stephen about my next project, otherwise he's going to think I haven't done anything. I can't have that." You absolute asswipe
I always thought so too, then the book comes out and you wonder why the hell he was such a douche to Keanu Reeves… Was there some beef no one ever knew about…nope, he just picked a random celeb to enhance his story. Makes it even worse, to me.
I've watched "The whole nine yards and The whole ten yards" so many times and they still makes me laugh. Love the character he played on those. Great comedic acting and physical comedy. Take care and God bless you Mr. Perry.
This is how I will remember you Matthew along with my constant viewing of Friends repeats and your great movies. The only consolation I have in your passing is knowing you are no longer haunted by your demons and you can rest now.❤
We're all human, every single one of us. And with that, there's error and we've all struggled in one way or another, even the most affluent, poor, blessed and cursed of us. It isn't shameful to ask for help and the best of us need it from time to time. I hope the best for Matthew.
"And I said - You have your own army! No thanks". How not to love (and utterly miss) this great gift to the world? 'Cause this is what Matthew Perry has been. What a nice human being (Did I say being? I meant Bing) 💔
I’m buying the book! I can’t help thinking how much he reminds me of my friend that died of alcoholism last year at 41. Keep fighting sobriety is a great feeling. Fresh air clean mind and feeling life fully.
Yes thanks for demonizing pain pills so they make it harder for people who need them yeah great job so u wrote a book on how stupid u were u had everything and tossed it away when others have way more problems Sa from father being beaten as a kid and later from partners yes poor u when u had all the money to get better ❤️🩹 nope I think he’s horrible oh poor me ridiculous
@@lisastreit6890 if you feel this way please delete this and *make your own post directed to Matthew Perry* - I don't need YOUR issues directed at *me* - esp I rely on pain medication due to *my fibromyalgia* - all YOUR stuff is triggering me - my pain. my anxiety, my pstd, my fibromyalgia please remove your comment directed at me asap, please, thank you
So happy you are alive, one of our most favorite people in the entertainment community! It’s your heart we feel and are touched by! Keep on the right road!
A man I grow up watching and have this huge crush and his presence was just so big I am in England we had Charles in charge and who's the boss long before friends. He was beautiful inside and out. Thank goodness his dramas sitcoms and and films are there to watch whenever I want to watch them. I still can't believe he is dead and I'm grieving over someone I never got to meet.
I am deeply moved by the news of Matthew Perry's passing. His talent and unique sense of humor have brought so much joy to many of us over the years. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace, and may the memories of his smile and his incredible work live on in our hearts. 🕊️😢
You’re probably not reading these Matthew, but I wish you the very best!! I was not a huge friends viewer, mainly due to my dad hogging the tv for any and all sports watching, but Fools Rush In is one of my fave teenhood movies, as well as the Whole Nine Yards. I hope you keep up the great work you’ve been putting in, and thank you for being open about your life!
RIP your passing has shaken me to the core. I had 10 yrs of sobriety and relapsed. Your story has helped me from going back and completely killingy self by drinking and using. Very hard to forgive my self fo the relapse. Your book is helping me a great deal. You will always be missed. God rest your soul my friend.
I wonder what kind of trauma he had in his childhood and if anybody on here knows. He has all of the hallmarks of someone who had some really traumatic issues when he was really young. I have his book but haven’t read it yet and wondered if he speaks of anything like that. God, I just cannot believe it, What a sad day. He was such a beautiful soul. He was really trying to figure out who he was but I guess God just wanted him to come Home.
@@thirstonhowellthebird he TOUCHES on these issues in an interview he gave in toronto re his book. TYPE IN "Matthew perry book interview" its the 1hr long vid with all the views...he talks about being drugged up as a kid to get to sleep which he says was "quite common" in those days but yah he mentions these things and i also hope to buy the book but I HAVE SO MANY I WANT TO BUY
@@Fukkconservatives Oh but there is my little grasshopper. If you cannot prove that there is no God, then you must accept the possibility that there likely is given all the powerful testimonies I’m sure you’ve heard over the years.
This man... gave me smiles for hours, days, weeks, months and years.... My heart and my strength are with you in this fight... I want to see you shine again.
5 minutes his heart stopped but he didn’t flatline. AKA - his heart wasn’t beating on its own , they were doing compressions, and the compressions were being done correctly, which is why he didn’t flat line, and a few ribs broke.
I highly doubt that. The lines in the ECG are from the electrical impulses of the heart. If it's flatlining it means that the pacemaker cells aren't firing up to force the heart to contract. Manual compression will not produce the electrical impulses to be picked up by the heart monitor.
I am a Cardiac Nurse. You don't do CPR unless the patient has flatlined! Flatlined means heart isn't beating. I believe someone was trying to say he wasn't really really dead. Just kind of knocking on heaven's door. Why? Bc he had CPR compressing heart keeping O2 going around. Otherwise no heartbeat for 5 minutes and no O2, means brain damage. He was fortunate to go through that with medical aid around him. Apparently he still has things to do...
Cue Miracle Max: "Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive." From the looks of him, I'd say Perry is still mostly dead.
As many great souls who are gone too soon,I am gleaning more of Matthew’s gifts of Recovery,Love,and Warmth in his death than I ever did when he was still on the planet! Love you forever,Matthew! Thank you 🙏
I like that, instead of a movie with Meryl Streep, Matthew will be remembered for an amazing memoir, and how he turned around the end of his life to help others and to face the new day with hope. See you on the other side, sir 👋🏽
I didn’t see many of the most recent interviews but alcoholism is a horrible disease :( Even his voice changed over the years I’m so sad :( Rest in peace - I’m so sad that he didn’t get to do more interviews
Yup, still love him. He was my favorite character on Friends, and he's still my favorite now. Hoping for him and all those of us who love him, that this time it'll last
This is such sad, unbelievable news. After all he had been through and overcame this is totally not fair. I am so sorry for his family and close friends and admirers around the world. I am one of them. Peace to you Matthew 💔
RIP matthew perry I was so shocked that he is gone. But we’ll remember his legendary movies and iconic tv shows like friends. RIP matthew your one of my favorite best actors that ever appear in the television
I have all the respect & heartfelt,, best wishes in the world for Matthew Perry. I’m glad you’re alive. I’m glad you saw it through. So many of our generation left us. I’m very glad your friend Jennifer stayed steadfast. A true friend indeed.
The amount of happines and joy this man have given to million of people is a lottt. I mean i just smile seeing matthew's face , And no , he doesnt deserve all this pain and struggle..i just wish i could take it away but i cant😔, but i wish that he live his life to the fullest now and dont miss out on anything, never ever forget the best moments of his life again from now on .... Aaaah i love you matthew , i love you chandler, And i respect you Mr. Perry!!🤝👏
Hi! My friend is reading the book at the moment, I asked how she likes it and she said that Matthew sounds like a douchebag treated women very poorly, what are your thoughts? I am curious because I'd like to read the book too but not if it is to be upset at him for treating women disrespectfully.
I am genuinely shocked and saddened. We have lost Matthew far too soon.
Seems his body went thru too much. Also is bad timing his assistant left for a few errands and he died while she was gone. Who knows if she was there maybe he could of been saved. So sad

@@lisastreit6890 if you feel this way please delete this and *make your own post directed to Matthew Perry* -
I don't need YOUR issues directed at *me* - esp I rely on pain medication due to *my fibromyalgia* - all YOUR stuff is triggering me - my pain. my anxiety, my pstd, my fibromyalgia
please remove your comment directed at me asap, please, thank you
So happy you are alive, one of our most favorite people in the entertainment community! It’s your heart we feel and are touched by! Keep on the right road!
I don't generally watch the guests, but we lost my stepson to addiction this year and this really hits.
Oh, goodness... May you find peace, and my best to you and your family.
Praying for you and your family 🙏
So sorry for your loss
So sorry to hear this
A man I grow up watching and have this huge crush and his presence was just so big I am in England we had Charles in charge and who's the boss long before friends. He was beautiful inside and out. Thank goodness his dramas sitcoms and and films are there to watch whenever I want to watch them. I still can't believe he is dead and I'm grieving over someone I never got to meet.
A celebrity death like no other. This genuinely hurts. Hope you're making them laugh up there Matthew. Thank you for everything x
❤️🩹 🥲. Rest in Peace Matthew Perry 🥲
You were one of a kind and definitely will be missed!!
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful to see him. You just made my day Matthew. Cheers from Germany
I am deeply moved by the news of Matthew Perry's passing. His talent and unique sense of humor have brought so much joy to many of us over the years. My heartfelt condolences go out to his family and loved ones. May he rest in peace, and may the memories of his smile and his incredible work live on in our hearts. 🕊️😢
His character was always my favourite on Friends, its sad he was in so much pain. I wish him all the best. Lovely interview.
Wishing Matthew all the best on his road to recovery! For all the laughs that got me thru some rough patches I hope his road is smooth.
His road apparently was made of boulders
You’re probably not reading these Matthew, but I wish you the very best!! I was not a huge friends viewer, mainly due to my dad hogging the tv for any and all sports watching, but Fools Rush In is one of my fave teenhood movies, as well as the Whole Nine Yards. I hope you keep up the great work you’ve been putting in, and thank you for being open about your life!
Lushy! You got some shplainin to do! Funniest line of the movie.
RIP your passing has shaken me to the core. I had 10 yrs of sobriety and relapsed. Your story has helped me from going back and completely killingy self by drinking and using. Very hard to forgive my self fo the relapse. Your book is helping me a great deal. You will always be missed. God rest your soul my friend.
too bad he was lying and was never actually clean and sober
Thank you Matthew for sharing everything you did in your book with us. I know that could not have been easy. You are so loved.
Strongly recommend you get the audiobook of “friends, lovers…”. He reads it himself and the inflections are so genuine and powerful.
*Really sad and shocked to inform yall Matthew has passed away. He brought the world so much laughter in Friends and he will be missed. RIP*
I wonder what kind of trauma he had in his childhood and if anybody on here knows. He has all of the hallmarks of someone who had some really traumatic issues when he was really young. I have his book but haven’t read it yet and wondered if he speaks of anything like that. God, I just cannot believe it, What a sad day. He was such a beautiful soul. He was really trying to figure out who he was but I guess God just wanted him to come Home.
@@thirstonhowellthebird he TOUCHES on these issues in an interview he gave in toronto re his book. TYPE IN "Matthew perry book interview" its the 1hr long vid with all the views...he talks about being drugged up as a kid to get to sleep which he says was "quite common" in those days but yah he mentions these things and i also hope to buy the book but I HAVE SO MANY I WANT TO BUY
@@Fukkconservatives Oh but there is my little grasshopper. If you cannot prove that there is no God, then you must accept the possibility that there likely is given all the powerful testimonies I’m sure you’ve heard over the years.
A wonderful book from a wonderful person. All the best to Matthew Perry
This man... gave me smiles for hours, days, weeks, months and years.... My heart and my strength are with you in this fight... I want to see you shine again.
RIP Mathew Perry. You were the best thing about my childhood.
RIP Matthew and thank you for the laughs & tears!
5 minutes his heart stopped but he didn’t flatline.
AKA - his heart wasn’t beating on its own , they were doing compressions, and the compressions were being done correctly, which is why he didn’t flat line, and a few ribs broke.
I highly doubt that. The lines in the ECG are from the electrical impulses of the heart. If it's flatlining it means that the pacemaker cells aren't firing up to force the heart to contract. Manual compression will not produce the electrical impulses to be picked up by the heart monitor.
@@anthosm 🤔 now I have a lot of studying to do. 😳
I am a Cardiac Nurse. You don't do CPR unless the patient has flatlined! Flatlined means heart isn't beating. I believe someone was trying to say he wasn't really really dead. Just kind of knocking on heaven's door. Why? Bc he had CPR compressing heart keeping O2 going around. Otherwise no heartbeat for 5 minutes and no O2, means brain damage. He was fortunate to go through that with medical aid around him. Apparently he still has things to do...
it's called PEA, pulseless electrical activity.
Cue Miracle Max: "Whoo-hoo-hoo, look who knows so much. It just so happens that your friend here is only MOSTLY dead. There's a big difference between mostly dead and all dead. Mostly dead is slightly alive." From the looks of him, I'd say Perry is still mostly dead.
As many great souls who are gone too soon,I am gleaning more of Matthew’s gifts of Recovery,Love,and Warmth in his death than I ever did when he was still on the planet! Love you forever,Matthew! Thank you 🙏
Could I Beee More Happy for him?!
I like that, instead of a movie with Meryl Streep, Matthew will be remembered for an amazing memoir, and how he turned around the end of his life to help others and to face the new day with hope. See you on the other side, sir 👋🏽
He seems much more lively, energetic and healthy now than on the Friends reunion. Happy for this dude
Really he was given everything and he had no talent
@@lisastreit6890 he did make a great deal of people around the world happy. What have you done?
I'm just glad Matthew is on the way forward ...May he teach his life lessons to everyone . Glad you are doing better and making changes for the better
i hope he is resting in heaven now
I didn’t see many of the most recent interviews but alcoholism is a horrible disease :(
Even his voice changed over the years I’m so sad :(
Rest in peace - I’m so sad that he didn’t get to do more interviews
Yup, still love him. He was my favorite character on Friends, and he's still my favorite now. Hoping for him and all those of us who love him, that this time it'll last
This is such sad, unbelievable news. After all he had been through and overcame this is totally not fair. I am so sorry for his family and close friends and admirers around the world. I am one of them. Peace to you Matthew 💔
You made my Childhood a better place, thanks for all the laughs Matthew.
Rest in Peace ! You will be missed, thanks for your roles !

I'm listening to the Audible version of his book, and it makes me miss him. Rest easy, Mr. Perry.
That takes gut to battle with addiction for that long under those circumstances and still come out the other side. Bless all that did not.
And bless those who knew how to avoid addiction even more.
I’m so glad to see him again ! It’s been such a long time😢
I wish he knew how much he was loved❤❤❤
You always be Chandler to me Matthew favorite TV show watching reruns 100 times more!😘😍🥰
Every great story has a sad ending. Rest in peace champ! Thanks for the laughs!
legend. happy to see him doing well
Thank you for the joy you brought to us
I found out he’s only 18 months sober. I really hope he gets well completely.
Doubtful
Still grieving his loss. Gone too soon.
Got the book, still reading it. It's a good book! I adore him!... and sure wish him the VERY best!
Hi! My friend is reading the book at the moment, I asked how she likes it and she said that Matthew sounds like a douchebag treated women very poorly, what are your thoughts? I am curious because I'd like to read the book too but not if it is to be upset at him for treating women disrespectfully.
RIP to a wonderful 'Friend'. Canada mourns the loss of a beloved son.😢😢😢😢😢😢
R.I.P.
MATTHEW PERRY
Damn Matthew Perry, forever you will live on!!
I hope he knows how much he is loved.
Watched this last week, can't believe I'm watching this now he has passed away! RIP Matthew Perry. Thank you for the laughs!
He looks great! Glad to see him doing better! And Friends season 11? Please?
